About our tile repair in Gayton
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gayton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Gayton
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northamptonshire.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gayton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
